The face is the first thing a person sees when they look at you and if the face is laced with pimples, blackhead, acne, white heads,it becomes rough and looks unattractive . As a young lady the smoothness of my face is very important to me and the many compliments I receive keep me doing the things I do to maintain the smoothness, and even without makeup I feel confident going makeup free when i am lazy to apply makeup.

Two months ago, in one Facebook group that I belong to, one of the members asked how to clear her face cos she has tried all the remedies she knew but none worked. I made a suggestion. Then another member couldn't believe that such a simple thing could clear ones face. She contacted me after adding me on messenger and she asked me questions on how to do the trick that she had gone through my pictures and found out that I have very smooth skin, in my mind I was feeling like miss universe * wink*.
I explained to her. Two weeks later, she told me that her breakouts had become worse than they were. I smiled and told her the remedy was working that she should continue and then told her to do one more thing. My dear readers she contacted me again about a month later thanking me. I have not met her before and I don't even know her. She said her break outs had all disappeared and that her face looks radiant and smoother than it was. I felt so happy to have helped someone smile and forget her rough face days and I decided I will share the tips with my readers.

I felt so happy to have helped someone smile and forget her rough face days and I decided I will share the tips with my readers.
1. Washing : After wearing your makeup all day, wash your face with soap and warm water before you go to bed. This will get rid of oil and makeup that clogs your pores and cause break outs. Also make sure you wash your hands first before washing your face so as not to transfer germs from your dirty hands to your face.
2. Cleansing and Toning: After washing, use a facial cleanser that is suitable for your skin type and cleanse your face. It depends on how it works for you. I cleanse before I wash my face, it helps to prevent it from becoming too dry after washing cos I don't like applying any moisturizer before bed so my face can breathe while I sleep. I only apply cucumber extract as a facial toner.
3. Scrubbing: In the morning, cleanse face with cleanser before you scrub, scrub gently with a facial scrub in circular movements all over face avoiding eye area. Also cleanse and scrub your neck area. Do the scrubbing for about 2 minutes before you go to take your bath. Leave the face as the last part to wash before you dry your body. After washing off the sub, still use soap to wash the face and neck, then pat dry with a clean face towel.
4. Moisturizing: Most people say they don't apply moisturizer to their face arguing that it makes the face darker when makeup is applied. Well, the reverse is the case for me. When I apply moisturizer, it makes my face smooth and silky and a good base for applying my foundation. Just don't over do it, a little is just enough.
5. Hydrating: This is very important when it comes to achieving smooth and acne free face and skin. Dehydration can cause face to become oily and make it break out. Drink lots and lots of water. If possible drink 2 glasses of water when you wake up first thing in the morning. It flushes out waste and toxins from the body. And drink more about 8 litres in all in a day to keep you hydrated. Also you may drink warm lemon water. This is very effective in giving you clear and flawless skin.
6. Nutrition: I grew up knowing that fruits and veggies are good for me. I have always had smooth skin and get lots of compliment for it. Eat fruits and veggies and less greasy food. Also eat less carbs. Fruits like oranges, apples, banana, grapes, Pineapples, water melon, pawpaw are good examples. Veggies like carrots, cucumber, cabbage, beets, letus, green leafy veggies are full of vitamins and antioxidants that nourish the skin and make it look smooth and glowing.

7: Natural Remedies: Applying natural juices such as lemon juice, Papaya juice, tomato juice, honey, aloe vera gel, cucumber juice is also effective in smoothening the face. Make sure you wash your face before applying any of these. They can be applied individually or a combination of two or three of them. Leave on face for about one hour then wash off with lukewarm warm water. Dry face and apply moisturizer immediately to avoid over dryness.
8. Urine Cleansing : This method is very effective. I used it when I had so much breakouts last year after changing my body cream. I tried everything and they didn't seem to give me any positive results. I used it and in a month my face was so clear, smooth and bright. I will write about this method in my next post so I can explain it better.
Most of the tips that i have shared with you are simple and are a combination of both natural and cosmeticmethods. One thing about these remedies is that you need to give it time and be very patient before you start seeing positive results. Secondly, you have to understand that each person has a different skin type, so what worked for me and my facebook friend may not work for you. I wish you good luck as you work towards a smooth and flawless face and skin. Thank you for reading.
